Psychological Well-being and Family Support System
 

By designating the other parent as the EOR, the husband and wife can ensure optimal psychological well-being and strengthen their family support system. Caring for a child with multiple medical issues can place significant emotional and psychological strain on the parents. The EOR parent, being a familiar and trusted caregiver, provides emotional support and stability for both their son and the other parent. This familial bond and shared experience foster a nurturing environment and promote the husband and wife's resilience in managing the challenges associated with their son's medical needs. In contrast, relying on a non-live-in EOR may introduce an additional layer of separation, potentially impacting the family's cohesion and support system, which are crucial for their overall well-being.
